Description Me as Death of the Endless from The Sandman (Neil Gaiman’s comic series). Costume made by ~suzaku3 , wig styling, makeup and accessories by me. This is her “formal attire” version, from The Season of Mists.

Hi everyone! How are you? Have you been on holidays, or you still are?
Here you are a photo of my latest cosplay (July 2011, Festa dell'Unicorno at Vinci), the personification of Death from the gorgeous Sandman by Neil Gaiman. I hope you’ve read the series, and if you did, I really hope you’ll like my rendition of the character. Granted, you can’t see the most of my outfit there, neither Death’s trademark Egyptian eye makeup ^^’ but this was too much of a lovely photo not to post. Visit also our Sandman section in my cosplay group account ~Cospoison to see the rest of the group!

Another close-up of meeh
From the same photographer, our marvellous Titania, Queen of the Fairies [link]

Meravigliosa, semplicemente... solo con quello sguardo e quel sorriso hai restituito tutta l'essenza del personaggio di Death, il suo essere splendida e terribile, emblema della fragilità umana senza però esservi ostile... l'accuratezza del trucco e la sua profondità dà al tuo sguardo una nota aggiuntiva di mistero, mi incanta a non finire e ti dona immensamente.
Troppo bellissima!

...Che si può dire di fronte a un commento del genere? Grazie, grazie, grazie. Sighsob. *si asciuga lacrimuccia*
Death è un personaggio così... così... così unico che è difficile poter credere di poterlo rendere... mi ci vorrà ancora un po' d'esercizio, ma sono così contenta di esservi piaciuta! E della giornata in generale, che, anche se rovinata dalla pioggia e dal fare su e giù e dai malesseri ç___ç è stata comunque un'occasione per stare insieme.
Ci devi proprio pensare seriamente, a divenire la nostra Thessaly, prima o poi...

No, davvero, per me tu sei già un sacco iMPRESSiVa come Death E' davvero sorprendente quanto tale ruolo ti si addica e ti si attacchi con estrema naturalezza!
Dai, alla prima occasione piacerebbe tanto anche a me lanciarmi nel fronte Thessalioso Però prima devo troppo finire di leggere Sandman, che non mi piace fare il mobile vestito a festa in un gruppo cosplay (specie, insomma, quando si tratta di Cotal Livello! )!

Niente mobili, nonono! Anche se mobili pVegiati come te! Spero che leggerai presto Sandman, per me è stata davvero una lettura eccellente e ispirosa!

OMG, you look GORGEOUS! I love the cosplay, I love the pose, I love the make up, and I love YOU in that photo. I haven´t read the series, but I recognize the characters and I have a job colleague that owns the collection of comics and I´ll borrow them from him.

Congrats on the marvellous outfit and the photographer also! I love steampunk style, and it fits Death so well... ^_^

Shu-Maat In reply to Olaunis [2011-11-21 17:52:04 +0000 UTC]

You never fail to make me happy!
Thank you a lot, I'm really fond of this, too. It's a bit too "photoshopped" for my tastes, but that's the photographer's choice and I respect it. The outcome is pleasing, and who knows, maybe I looked terrible in the original... I know it's highly probable!
Thank you very much for everything!! Oh yes, this is her "formal" version [link] an obvious choice if I wanted something a bit more consistent than her tank top and trousers, but I have a thing for corsets and this types of skirts, too... And I know we share this passion! I absolutely have to see you dressed in steampunk style someday!!

Olaunis In reply to Shu-Maat [2011-11-21 18:32:30 +0000 UTC]

It´s that photoshopped? I hadn´t realized...
Hohoho... I would also love to go steampunk. In fact, that idea has been around my mind for a couple of years. And some of my ordinary clothes, if well combined (aside from certain good complements, like broochs, goggles and stuff) could pass as victorian. I own some vests and embroidered shirts that could serve. But, I´m afraid to say that the nearest I´ve been from cosplaying victorian style has been disguising as Mary Poppins in a costume party with friends ^_^U

Shu-Maat In reply to Olaunis [2011-11-21 18:44:51 +0000 UTC]

I think so... well, I don't know, I've seen just this version of the photo. I certainly don't have a perfect skin But it was a shot taken in just a minute (I don't even remember posing for it), so it's great nevertheless! I feel lucky to have such memories of those cosplay days.

Oooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeeah you totally should!! You did tell me about your Mary Poppins disguise (photos! photos!!), but I'm sure that good tastes can combine even some "could-pass-as" clothes in a very good outfit. And yes, then you just add some little ornament... again, I think that good tastes are what seal the deal. So go for it, unafraid! *another heroic face*
And... I hope you'll draw some steampunk clothes design someday... It's one of the things from you that I'd like to see the most.

Olaunis In reply to Shu-Maat [2011-11-21 18:48:45 +0000 UTC]

OMG In fact, I have many ideas for steampunk, and some designs, but of course, I lack tons of time, so, I will put it away for some time.

Shu-Maat In reply to Olaunis [2011-11-25 19:35:39 +0000 UTC]

It's unfair that the world is deprived of your steampunk designs!! I should come and make you housechores while you draw!!
I'll be waiting for them ^__^

OMG, I swear I´ll upload some steampunk-ish stuff soon...
As for my housechores... Well, that has to be done, if I ever want to be a proper indepndent woman!!! ^_^

Penso sia anche un po' per il fotoscioppamento (non fatto da me ovviamente), e poi i capelli ti cambiano un sacco... Ma, che dire, se ti garbo io son proprio contenta
Grazie cara!!!
